Victorian motorist Jane - not her real name - had proof she wasn't behind the wheel when 47 fines were issued.

Despite being admitted to hospital when the fines were issued, she was still chased by Transurban.

"I was very unwell, in and out of hospital," Jane told A Current Affair.

She claims Transurban's debt collectors continued harassing her by phone while she was in hospital.

"'Pay us the money, pay us more money,' I'm paying everything I can, 'no, you need to pay more,' I can't pay more. Next night, the same thing."

Jane claims to have attempted suicide as a result of Transurban's tolling revenue chasing tactics.

"It was just the lowest point of my life," she said.

She will now pay off her $25,000 debt in $50 increments for the next 20 years.
